Breeding Contract

[chelvis]

Hey all,
I have been talking to a member on thetegu who has three female tegus (one blue, one red/blue and one extreme) and I offered to stud out my male for this breeding season. My question is what kind of contract should I use to make sure I don't lose my male.

I understand there is a risk that they might hurt or even kill him, but i mean what should I add to make sure I get my boy back. We have not worked out all the details yet and I have not gone over there to see the place (work has been crazy!).

As suggestions or advice would be great!

I would say to only work with someone you know and trust.

First off, if it were me, the female would be coming to the male, not vise-versa.

or... just dont do it and dont worry about losing your guy

Is he local or would you be shipping?

 

[chelvis]

He is local, and he has been in the tegu community for a few years now.

I would love to have the females come here but I do not have the current have the space for three more adult tegus. I think I am just going to meet up with him and see what kind of feeling I get.

You could just borrow them one at a time and put them in his cage for a week or two for them to breed. That's what I would do.

chelvis,
The only reason I said, what I said was, that I would not want breeding inexperience to harm you Tegu. It is the dominance factor, as far as a male/female introductions. You want the male to be the dominant one. I will always take the female and place in with a male, "never" the other way around.

Just like new intro's with two I want to keep together. I thoroughly clean out entire cage and use fresh bedding, that way no one is more dominant over the other.

Bosco has been studded before and had no problem, he seems to be in his element no matter where he is.
